I noticed on the Revo there is no mini-jack connection to plug my headphones into for Digital output, only an RCA one. Does that leave me with only Analog when I use my 580's? And if I am forced to use Analog, which connection on the back do I plug my cans into?

Here is a site if you need to refer to the back of the card:

No headphones that I know of have a digital connector.

Sennheiser HD580 don't for sure.

Thanks for the quick reply! So am I foolish to think that headphones could be plugged into a Digital connection even if both ends are compatible (ie. digital mini-jack adapter to mini-jack plug)? I imagine I probably wouldn't get any sound if I did this then. Heh, so basically I just plug my phones into the line-in on my card?

Well... since you decided to put it that way, yes, you are.

Just noise, if anything.
